Answer 1

Answer: A) Acute

Explanation:

Compare the sum of the squares of the two smaller numbers (a² + b²) to the square of the largest number (c²).

• If a² + b² > c², then the triangle is Acute

• If a² + b² = c², then the triangle is Right

• If a² + b² < c², then the triangle is Obtuse

65² + 72² ____ 96²

4225 + 5184 ____ 9216

9409 > 9216 So, the triangle is Acute.
